The Tropical Fruit Forum

I grafted a decopan on a seedling kumquat tree last spring and it is buried among new growth, i have to double check.Picture below is suppose to be the Shiranui, bummer.

This fruit looks more like an orange, taste very good, does not peel had to cut in slices.No neck.

I still do not know much about citrus tree's, how the different fruits taste like. To make matters worse I ordered a Sirahnui tree from Harris a while back and now i look at the fruit and it does not look like it.Through the years these things happens to my collection of fig tree's. Have to redo some of them.

I ruined my little Xie shan by letting it fruit too soon,even though the fruits were excellent. One neighbor ate peel in all and thought it was great flavour.Counted 42 fruits.   

Right now there are so many varieties to chose from. If you have to make a choice of 5, what would your no 1. My collection right now consist of only 4 that are producing and 4 are just 3 years old(seedlings).
Xi-shan, Page, shiranui, Meyer.

It was my understanding that Meyer lemons are the best kinds to grow, now we have New Zealand lemonade, Femmenello lunario, St therese of lisieux. I got to get sionwood of one of these three. Seeds are out of the question( i am too old, i can wait that long) Help? Bob
I have nothing to compare with i though Meyers are pretty good, have two tree's that are producing.I also have a dozen F D seedlings.

Where is Joe Real? Well Laaz it is coming, maybe it is this time of the year.
After the greening outbreak citrus seems to downhill. The guys in Texas are also worried to buy tree's.
Laaz are you growing mainly citrus or do you grow other subtropicals. You sure live in a nice part of the country. I allways like that neck of the woods, perfect for growing a lot of good stuff. Bob.

My citrus are in 2 sizes: 20 and 25 gls. Jabo also in 25 gl and Atemoya also in 25gl containers.Temps are kept at 72* from 7am-7pm. Medium are ECOscrap from Walmart,it is similar to Mg. The Meyers have ripe,young and flowers right now Page has ripe ones and going into right now,Shiranui are going into bloom also.

Laaz, i bought fd from you a few years ago and planted them asap and i still have extra plants that will be grafted this coming spring.The extra ones were neglected in previous winters in pots outside and they survive, could not believe it. They are outside now haven't brought them in yet. Bob.

Laaz, this is good news and hope you spice-up this forum.Your seeds that i bought from you are doing well, that going back several years.

My sie shan are almost there, some are yellow, Meyer had some ripe ones but most are green with a lot of new ones and also new blooms. All others are just growing. In a few weeks they are all going in the garage for about a couple months

 Thank you all, it is always good to hear from the one and only Fruithunter and chief Zone pusher. The Atemoya after been pruned heavely started blooming constant till about the first part of September

Is this tree still for sale and do you ship out of state? I am really interested.
